We have so many insane gun babies in this country that there’s no way we can really see them coming anymore. Most of their parents of course know all about them. But they don’t care.

Good luck fixing any of it.
I could probably walk into any faculty common room and find someone willing to “contextualize” the stalking of an insurance executive with plans to shoot him. Undoubtedly I could find someone who would celebrate a messed-up dude swimming on the girls’ team as “living her truth.”
Against such a background, what chance does a serious scholar of the mental personality have of figuring out what’s going on in the minds of insane gun babies, their parents, or those stressed out veterans in the High Plains, let alone being able to recommend therapies?
